I have begun reading the Archbishop's lent book for 2007 and so far, it is great. Challenging, thoughtful and original -at least compared to other stuff I've read, maybe less so if you read a lot of Ched Myers or Stanley Hauerwas.
So far I have read a chapter that outlines the relationship of first century Judea to Rome and examines the gospel portraits of Pilate and another that looks at reform and revolution with Judaism before looking at Barabbas. Each chapter ends with 'wonderings' that gently prompt the reader to repsond to themself and a prayer.
Definitely a refreshing and thought provoking read.
